The #2 seed Colorado College men also reached the championship in a hard-fought 5-4 win over #3 Southwestern. The match was moved up to 11:00 a.m. to try and avoid expected bad weather in the South Texas area.
Because of potential bad weather forecasts for Sunday, Colorado College and Trinity agreed to attempt to determine the conference championship Saturday night, but lightning caused two delays before thunderstorms forced the teams to postpone until the morning.
In addition to the championship matches, Centenary and Southwestern men will play in the consolation bracket - as will the Centenary and Colorado College women's teams.
